I feel like most teams are using OKC's 'they can't call every foul' defensive game plan which is leading to a crazy amount of free throws league wide.

I guess we can say Magic have "officially" canned the higher pace style.

Great timing on that take
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

We’ve played 4 teams that had losing records last year.

We’re 1-3. We are the soft spot of the schedule.


lol would not put much stock on a 4 game sample size. And if you think we are the soft spot against teams that includes the Wiz, Char, and Boston you must really think we suck lol


Heat look amazing since our game, Bulls 3-0 and Sixers 4-0

hardest schedule in the league imo!!

Mose read the board and is back to playing slower through our wings. All that is left is trading Tyus out for Jase when Jase is ready and we will be ready to peak.

This is an important stretch of the game and AB needs to make these free throws out of the timeout. Can't let their bench turn the game around for them.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Suggs is the Magic’s most impactful player. Team just plays at a different level when he’s on the court.

The fact Tyus can’t even get open to bring the ball up the court is killing me.

Well that was awful. Just out of curiosity, I wonder how long we would have let him stand there before eventually getting out on him.
